Ann Cohen writes: "I was a young widow at the age of 22 and again 17 years later. So now at 74, happiness, family, and drawing are my life's passion.I founded and operated a preschool called Annie's Little Farm for 32 years. Our children's garden was filled with laughter, storytelling, singing, and making stories that the children created. I closed my school around 7 years ago. Stories and drawing have been with me since a young girl and continues today. In my latest book, Ann Mary in Pickens Canyon, I am that little girl and at the end of my street was the beginning of Pickens Canyon where the story begins. I always wanted to see the waterfalls and never got there. I started writing Ann Mary in Pickens Canyon about 15 years ago, and just recently finished it.During this last year while the world was going through isolation, I kept myself busy in a creative fashion, drawing drawing the illustrations to fit my stories.I have the passion of the pen to draw the moment; drawing the people and places in the Bay Area music scene. I've documented thousands of local and well-known bands up the coast through Oregon, British Columbia, and over to Europe in cities like Berlin and Paris. I take a moment to hear the music dance through me while the hand goes to the paper and documents the moment. I continue to follow the music, always on the hunt for the next draw in restaurants, cafes, clubs, or just wherever I am. I have published four books filled with the stories and drawings since 2020."
